On a spring morning in 1940, a small group of Danish soldiers were ordered to stop an invasion of Denmark by far larger and stronger German superior forces. Since then, the fallen soldiers have been commemorated for the courage and bravery they displayed in the tragic story of a tortuous Danish chain of command. Because the surrender order sent out from Copenhagen was not passed on until fighting between the undermanned Danish military and the superior German military, which had tanks and planes, had raged for at least an hour, perhaps longer.
